THE Baconians are now INDUCING in
ordinations and determinations as to
the discovery of the alleged cryp-
togram in Shakespeare's epitaph,
which is said to demonstrate that
Bacon claimed the authorship OF the
plays. One man says that the other
man is g. 'literary pickpocket," and
the controversy isgetting exciting. 1t
is q peculiar fact. by the way, that the
less one appreciates the beauties OF
Shakespeare, the more he is inclined to
discuss the authorship.

1t Astopishes an UncuItivated Person
 From New York.

In Boston I was stopping at the Adams House, says New York Sun writer, and I went to the basement to the barber shop rather late. The barbers were all conyersing with one another in a sort of aristocratic un- dertone, but they seldom spoke to the custo- mers. Most of them looked into the mir TOTS rather moro frequently than was neees- sary and curled their mustaches and brushed their hair between slaves. 1 waited some time for my turn, and finally highly spectsble looking young barber bowed to me profoundly and went to his chair. l am pretty well known around the country, but this barber did not seem to bs acquainted with me. think it was part of his plan to repel all familiarity on the part of the GUS toner, and the sensation was so unusual that I rather enjoyed it for Q time. He held his eyebrows in the air, moved with a sort of Miss Nancy gait and lathered me with great gentleness. Then he took two fingers of his right hand, rubbed the father in with sort of touch -ne-not air, while he twirled his moustache with the other hand and looked comfortably at the mirror. He shaved me gently, daintilY and we'll. After it was over he twisted me little further back than usu- al, sponged me with little lavender water, then with ice water from the cooler and abruptly disappeared. Three minutes later he came back with a heavy, thick woolen cloth, which had evidently been taken out of hot water. This he tucked down under my jaw and smoothed down under my mouth, just leaving me room to breathe through my nose. It burned like blazes. He again dis appeared. I was about to protest when he suddenly showed up with another hot cloth and slammed it over my forehead. I made feeble bluff at protest, when he dropped his hand heavily on the forehead cloth and pinned me in my chair. I lay there with those burning cloths on my burning head for an instant, and then sensation of delicious languor came over me and almost dropped to sleep on the spot. In a moment the bar Der took the steaming cloths off and smiled upon him gratefully.
 That is great scheme, said amiably.
 ''T have found it, sir,' he said, ponderous- ly and politely, 'an excellent thing for gen. tlemen whose ibations have been heavy over night
 E'He then disappeared again and moment later came back with the cloths steaming harder than ever. They were even shade hotter, but stood them like Trojan, and when he took them off second time my headache was gone and I felt as fresh as 8 two-year old. After that he gently soused my face in rose water, powdered it, brushed my hair as though afraid he would hurt il, and stood meekly aside while handed him tip. He took the tip as though he pre- tended not to note it, and left the shop"
